• Let's Bake! Cinnamon Muffins

    As you know, Allison loves to bake, and I love to eat what she bakes! Well, those two activities came together this weekend. On Friday Allison text me that she was going to make muffins! Obviously she asked me what kind of muffins I wanted her to make, obviously, I requested chocolate chip. Allison said no. Specifically, she said, “you can’t just have everything be chocolate”.

I found a super simple recipe on Pinterest (where else?) that led me to the original blog post and IĀ found a chocolate frosting recipe online. I made these for our ladies and left some for my husband. He could…
